Summary

I learned that there are many different creditable databases that are available to the public. Not just Wikipedia and Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL), but hundreds if not thousands of places or sites that anyone can find articles and information about any topic they desire. Wikipedia is more a mesh of information on a particular topic, while I felt GVRL was more information that was article based that was written and published. I'm not trying to devalue the information on Wikipedia, because there is a lot of very good information that is easily found on that site, but sometimes you can't always be sure that Wikipedia is 100% accurate. I thought some of the things on Wikipedia were very interesting, in regards to the internet. Some of those topics I've never really put any thought into. For example, the impact the internet has on society, as well as the important things that we use the internet for. The internet is for much more than just browsing for information when bored, it does a lot more than most people probably think. I believe it is a very important part to everyday living, not just locally, but globally across the entire world.
